Matt Carroll, CEO of Australian Sailing organisation, has resigned to take up the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Olympic Committee.
Carroll joined Australian Sailing in 2014 with a background in sports administration, in particular in rugby union.
In his short time with Australian Sailing his main achievement has been the implementation of an administrative reform to consolidate power with the national body.
A statement from Australian Sailing says that “the Board of Australian Sailing will move quickly to secure a replacement for Matt and his departure date is to be confirmed”.
